Film
versions of Macbeth from directors Trevor Nunn (1978), Roman Polanski
(1971), Orson Welles (1948). One of the most acclaimed is the
Japanese director Akira Kurosawa’s version, Throne of Blood
(1959).
The
film The Last King of Scotland is also useful, in that it is a
recent (2006) Oscar winning film that follows the tyranny of Idi
Amin, which offers parallels to Macbeth.

These two sites give a brief description of a staging of Macbeth
at the University of Miami that used a fictional Caribbean setting,
thus allowing students to make connections to more contemporary
